TOKYO ROSE JAILED

The writer of the Sept. 28 letter, "For shame," made a glaring error in his comparisons of various war events and personalities to John Kerry. Tokyo Rose was not executed. The name "Tokyo Rose" is generally associated with Iva Toguri D'Aquino, who was tried and convicted of treason. Ms. Toguri was fined $100,000 and given a 10-year prison sentence. During the 1970s, the case was reopened and D'Aquino was granted a full pardon by Republican President Gerald Ford in his last presidential act in 1977.
